Sneak Attack (Melee) | Baldurs Gate 3 Wiki

I have a question. A familiar raven or an invisible quasit doesn't trigger an enemy to attack them if they don't attack first correct? If you were to park one 1.5 meters of an opponent you're smacking, would you get your sneak attack modifier on all your hits while they leave your familiar alone?

So, i went 4 levels into Ranger for gloom stalker and the lvl 4 feat, now i dual classed into rogue.
But for some reason the additional attack from dread ambusher on the first turn doesn't let me follow up with a sneak attack afterwards.
Is this a bug or am i missing something? The game displays "Not enough resources: %%% EMPTY" for me, so i guess sneak attack and dread ambusher have the same attack resource in the code?

Progression of dnd.....
1-3e: you can't sneak attack without finesse based weapons are you crazy.....
3.5-4e: can't you just bonk them really hard on the head impretty sure a coward punch is a thing. I'm pretty sure I could inflict alot of damage with my hands if I had a sneak attack I do have retractable claws........
5e: no you can't I'm too quick I have mind monk powers, what a nerd am I right guys

Sneak Attack damage dice are based on your Rogue level. Tested with level 3 thief level 4 ranger. Sneak attack stayed at 2d6 from level 3.

Any reason to use a finesse weapon to sneak attack when you can just tavern brawler unarmed and have nearly the same dmg bonus + attack roll. Forgive my ignorance but lvl 3 rogue is potential 12 dmg? Tavern with 20 is an potential 10 acc and dmg? Not even including flurry dbl hits etc. Just main attacks alone, these numbers right? Thx

I just realize when got advantage attack (like hiding) with hand crossbow, sneak attack will procs 2 times when use sneak attack will procs only 1 time

Submit

A shadow monk could use a versable/two-handed finesse weapon to perform a sneak melee attack. And spend bonus actions with a double punch. But they need martal weapon skill

Submit

Currently seems that Sneak Attack will not activate if you're using Disguise Self

Submit

Only 6d6? I wound like to play a sneak build but this needs a buff

Submit

Sneak attack with spells was likely just a bug and they've fixed it in a later patch, spells like Eldritch Blast and Shocking Grasp don't trigger sneak attack anymore.

Submit

Anyone else got this to engage on a bow?
I was running 5 hunter, 4 thief , 3 champion and my my bow crit and i got this as a reaction dual wielding swords

Submit

I just had dual-wielding Astarion proc Sneak attack twice on a combined main hand attack (costing 1 action + 1 bonus action). Though the enemy died right after the first hit.

Submit

it's work with dual wield or get only the main hand attack cause the charger is once per turns...?

Submit

Sneack Attack + Shocking Grasp is not working as of Patch 2, I don't think the fixed in Patch 1 worked.

Submit

Disguise self seems to disable the sneak attack reaction. And maybe some others.

Is there any advantage on using a dagger instead of a short sword for rogues?

i noticed on my rouge/monk that unarmed strikes can proc sneak attack, but only if you have a finesse weapon equipped. I guess the game doesn't care if you are actually using the finesse weapon, just that you have one on. If there is a way to make an unarmed strike as an action while having a weapon equipped that i am not aware of (aside from things like stunning strike), a str tavern brawler monk could take one or more levels in rogue for sneak attack

Submit

As of now the sneak attack can only be used once per round, which means if you applied SA on a OA, you can't use it on your next turn

Submit

Ok so yeah, sneak attack damage applies automatically to any qualifying attack not just the sneak attack actions, (pommel strike works for instance, so does offhand bonus attacks), i don't know if there's any reason to actually use the sneak attack specific actions. If you turn on always ask on the reactions menu it's much clearer how and when it works. Basically use any attack you want.

Submit

How does the "always ask"prompt work exactly, with other types of attacks. does it overide to turn it into a sneak attack? Does it stay the same and just add the extra damage dice. Either seems like a welrd way to handle it.

Submit

At level 12 it's still only 5d6, definitely bugged!

Submit

why does it take an action tho, not just an automatic trigger.. :(
or am i missing something?

Submit

Does „savage attacker” feat (When making weapon attacks, you roll your damage twice and use the highest result) work on sneak attacks also?

Submit

Does this work with monk unarmed attacks?

Submit

For anyone wondering, you can actually make this work with the barbarian reckless attack.
All you need to do is going into the reaction tab and check sneak attack to always activate and always ask.
You now want to always attack using the reckless option, when you land the hit the game will prompt you to use sneak attack like it would on a divine smite.

As this is seperate from the normal "attack action" would it not proc the extra attack from Gloomstalker's Dread Ambushers or from another multiclass with extra attack?

Submit

When duel weapons, does the sneak attack apply for the off hand separately? Like 2 x 1d6 per an action attack.
